Or you may feel like all of these options are fantastic but struggle knowing which option is the right one for you and your given situation?

Wading through the sea of prenatal testing options can seem daunting, but we are here to help. Depending on your personal beliefs, values, needs and personality, different testing options (or no testing at all) may be better suited for you. Genetic Support Foundation has included some of the most frequently asked questions and detailed information below regarding prenatal testing.
